1: PUBLIC TRANSPORT
I just love public transport! It just seems like a good idea in such a big city! For the tube/underground, yes, the tunnels do smell, but that just adds to the character! It's a lot cheaper then owning a car, too. For a travel card for the year, it costs about as much as it cost in NZ to just keep a car in the garage! It can get a bit squishy at rush hour(s), but that just proves haw good it is! The other public transport, like buses, are just as good, but buses are a bit (OK, a lot) slower. There are bikes as well. They are used by the business men and women! Their coats flap behind them, and hey look kinda stupid.
2:FREAKISH BRITISH POLITENESS
The British are so polite! You ask them a question, and they answer in a really nice way They make NZers look like... look like... look like... Not so polite people! Not in a bad way! Just not as polite as the British. No offense! I am sure we are all polite enough! I am also saying I am not as polite, too! Nu! I made us all sound like barbarians! We are NOT! Just ignore what I have said!
3: SO MANY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
I reckon that there are more people from different countries then actual British people! There are lots and lots of different languages! I couldn't understand lots of people! It was annoying! VERY annoying! I must learn every language in the world, then it will not be so annoying.
4. PIGEONS
Dad calls them flying rats. I think this is very, very, very mean. I think they are cute. They are cute! Just in a very rumpled way. And missing some toes. So what? I like them. But, seriously, there are tons of them! They are everywhere - especially in public places. I have seen them in the tube! The other good thing about pigeons is that Jack likes chasing them which makes him GO AWAY.
5. PEOPLE ON PHONES
There are so many people on their phones! They talk on them, play on them and pretty much treat them like their best friend. I mean, they are worse then people I know! And they love their phones.
6. NIKE STATUES
7. JUST GREEK STUFF IN GENERAL
8. DIRTY THAMES
9. MUSEUMS
SO MANY NIKE STATUES! Nike is the Greek goddess of victory, so it makes sense, but still. She is everywhere! Once, I saw a column and told dad about it. As I told dad, we passed another Nike statue! Actually, two. How do I know it's Nike? The statues are of a lady with wings, usually holding out a wreath.
Was I correct? Dun dun dun!
I don't mean the stuff in museums. I mean the statue of Rhea outside a park (Rhea was Kronos's wife. She got sick and tired of Kronos eating her kids, so she substituted Zeus for a rock. And Kronos actually ate it. So Zeus grew up, fed on ambrosia and nectar, and honey and milk, fed to him by a magical goat. Then he killed the goat for a shield and killed and overtook Kronos blah blah blah) Then in the Victoria and Albert museum there was a mosaic of Apollo and Bacchus and The Muses. And then a naked Achilles etc.
The Thames is meant to be pretty and romantic, right?
It is not. It is a smelly river that tuns through an equally smelly London, accompanying the smoggy sky. And the recycled water, which, as Turtleton kindly reminded me, is recycled up to SEVEN times. Everyone is trying to make it greener, but I reckon it's too late. It is a nice city, though. Lots of museums.
As mentioned above, 'Lots of museums'. I do like museums. They are really interesting. They have old stuff in them. And they are interesting. But, seriously, how many museums does one city need? They should donate one to Nelson. I am thinking of the Natural History Museum. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

Jack: I LOVE chasing the pigeons!
